Hello Sebastian,
I am delighted to have found your blogger page as I am a huge admirer of your father's work both the writing and the art. What a gift he was and is,
thank you for having this web presence to share your father with us Sebastian...
My very best wishes
John Lee
Hello Sebastian,
This is a great website I am really pleased to have recently discovered.
Your dedication to your father's work is admirable. He has been one of my favourite authors for a long time, and I hope some brilliant filmmaker like Peter Jackson (LOLR's) can do the Gormenghast books justice one day.

well I'd just say thankyou for these great efforts, I've loved the writing and paintings for forty years, but thought hardly anyone else did! Hope to see/listen to son Sebastian next Tuesday, will buy the new book and revive my interest- I recently re-read the Watney biography and it is very painful as you reach the final chapters. Peake lives on! What would he have made of the internet?, my daughter is a Penate fan, as yet not a reader.
Hi Sebastion.
We(my siblings and I) have been fans of Gormenghast (in particular for years)glad to see there are many more!. In fact my sister is known in the family as "The Grey Scrubber" I have only just seen (don't have TV) the BBC have done "Gormenghast" so hope the DVD lives up to my mental images of the book.
Best wishes from Australia
i too have walked the corridors,dwelt in the shadows,longed for the lady Fushia.
Hello there. I wanted to say hello as I will be movement directing Gormenghast - an adapted script from the Constable play - at Italia Conti Drama School this Spring/Summer - opening at the Edinburgh Festival. As a movement person, I have also had the good fortune to attend Skinner Releasing Classes run by Florence Peake! Small world it can be.
Great Website, really informative and interesting.
Best wishes
Jenni Malarkey
